Yesterday Chris had a interrogation about farm with a greenhouse :
“ I was searching your site for glasshouse turn in the winter and was n’t finding too much . I am build a basket house over a lasting garden bed ( 1/2 garden and the other 1/2 for my potted tropicals ( bread fruit , starfruit , tropic almond , cinnamon , neem , a bunch of unknown cum I land from overseas , etc . ) . My enquiry is : do you acknowledge what is honorable ( veg ) to plant in a greenhouse in the permanent garden bed here in north Florida ? Is there enough light in the day to protrude and maturate Cayenne or other Madagascar pepper ? What else besides greens ? ”
The grounds there is n’t a lot on nursery growing on my site is that in Florida ’s climate I mostly just rise what ’s in time of year and usemy greenhouseas a means to protect my uncommon tropical works collection and start some sweet murphy cutting .
It ’s easy to exchange to grow cold - hardy plants such as gelt , leaf mustard , cabbage , daikon radish , white turnip , fava bean and peas in the wintertime . you may maturate these without protection .
I have kept long pepper peppers growing through the winter in pots in the greenhouse , however , and they will bloom , blossom and fruit – though the maturation rate is much slower than in the warm leap . you could keep peppers for a few year as perennials , with the exception of bell capsicum .
Pretty much any green will thrive , though the best cat valium really are the cold - hardy ones anyhow . I often grow lettuce without protection in my garden ; however , if you ’re worried about a genuine moth-eaten duck soup , throw some in the greenhouse . Bush edible bean would likely exercise , though they ’ll probably sit for quite a bit without growing much when the days are cool . you’re able to also keep tomatoes die pretty well , in particular the cherry type and the Everglades Lycopersicon esculentum .
I have made some crazy plan to build up a mini - nutrient - woods inside a greenhouse , but never put it together since I was making more money off disperse rare plant from my glasshouse and sell them than I would from using the space to raise food .
Stick to smaller tree such as starfruit and “ condo ” or “ patio ” mango tree , coffee tree ( I have mature that with greenhouse shelter in a expectant pot for a long meter ) , miracle fruit , etc . , then you could surround them with other edibles such as katuk , chaya , Surinam purslane , pitch-dark pepper , etc .
Here ’s more on the possibilities of growing tropical victual outside the tropical zone … including how to grow coconut palms !
